Reginald F., Dish Machine Operator

Reginald “Reggie” F. has worked with Flagship for two years and is well-known by many because of contagious spirit and high level of customer service.

Working in a dish pit can be a grueling, messy and sometimes thankless position, but Reggie doesn’t see it that way. Instead he approaches his job as an opportunity to put a smile on someone’s face, to make new connections with our customers and to uplift and encourage his team in washing the hundreds of plates, pots, pans, cups and utensils that come their way.

Appreciative of a position that challenges him, keeps him busy and provides opportunities to make a difference in people’s day, we can always count on Reggie to give his all to each person and each dirty dish that he encounters!
